Assalamua'laikumDear Muslim brothers & sisters,
Do you know there are about 30% of Phuket’s populations are Muslim?
In Thai history most of them were immigrant from Malaysia & Indonesia for long time ago…
Strongly believed that the word “Phuket” is from Bahasa Melayu word “Bukit” (بوكيت)It means "Mountain” because of Phuket geography looks like a big mountain appears from the Andaman Sea and mostly of Phuket area are Mountains. Most of Muslim in Phuket living around Phuket beaches, such as Patong beach, Surin Beach, Kamala Beach, Rawai Beach, Panwa Beach and also in Phuket town, they were earn their daily life by fishing and gardeners. Nowadays when Phuket became the world class tourism business they change they profession to hotel staff, restaurant staff, Taxi drivers and many kinds in tourism and hospitality business. So, don’t worry about Halal food in Phuket if you are traveling to Phuket!! You can find many Halal food restaurants in the main tourist center of Phuket such as Patong beach, Kamala Beach, Surin Beach, and also in Kata beach.
But hardly to find a hotel serve halal breakfast at the hotel.We got many inquiries from our Muslim customers request for Muslim friendly Halal tour packages and looking for travel agents who can organize Halal tours.
There are many travel agents organize tour packages to Phuket. Many travel agents said they organize Halal tour for Muslim tourists.But they not really know what is Halal means ?
What is "Zabihah" mean ?
What is "Toharah" mean ?
